  Q: How to Service and Repair a Power Steering Pump on Dodge Intrepid?

  A:

  Before starting to fix the pump, take out the ground cable from the battery and put a cable isolator in its place on the shock tower. Use a siphon pump to ensure most of the fluid is in the pump before you remove the fluid lines. Remove the supply and return hoses from the reservoir which will allow both the reservoir and the pump to drain them. Plug the open nipple on the reservoir to seal it and afterwards remove the power steering pressure hose from the pump. After all of the fluid is removed, loosen the lock-nut on the serpentine Drive Belt tensioner front, release the drive belt tension and remove the belt from the pump pulley. Reach the power steering pump mounting bolts through the pulley holes and then take out the three bolts connecting the pump to the mounting bracket. Open space inside the bracket by gently inserting a screwdriver under the sleeve and pushing it forward until it's flush. Take out the power steering pump, reservoir and pulley group together and put the important components onto the new pump. Installating the pump, connect it to the mounting bracket, attach just the bottom and two side brackets for now and ensure that the long bolt slots into the outermost bracket where the sleeve is. Secure the mounting bolts so the torque is 28 Nm (250 inch lbs.), place the drive belt on the pump pulley and tighten the lock-nut on the tensioner. Screw the power steering pressure hose to the pump, use a torque wrench to tighten the nut to 47 Nm (35 ft. lbs.) and stick the return hose onto the reservoir, leaving the clamp behind the upset bead on the nipple. In the end, connect the battery ground cable back to the ground stud on the strut tower, with only Mopar Power Steering Fluid or a similar fluid and carry out the initial procedure for filling and bleeding the power steering system.

  Q: How to Install a Power Steering Pump on Dodge Intrepid?

  A:

  Start by fitting the power steering pump onto its bracket, following the order used during removal and making sure the end of the long bolt is back where the sleeve was in the tensioner bracket. Secure all three nuts that fix the power steering pump to the bracket. As you tighten the bolt in the sleeve, make sure the sleeve is pushed fully onto the pump. Tighten every bolt for the mount using a torque of 28 Nm (250 inch lbs.). After that, fit the Drive Belt onto the steering pump pulley and secure the nut on the drive belt tensioner's pulley. Secure the power steering pressure hose to the pump's pressure fitting. After that, tighten the tube nut to 47 Nm (35 ft. lbs.). Slide the power steering fluid return hose onto the reservoir, with the hose clamp secured past the upset bead on the nipple. Attach the battery ground cable to the ground stud on the strut tower, then move forward to do the Power Steering Pump Initial Operation to refill and bleed the power steering system.
